are looking anxiously to Congress for some '
great and substantial measure of relief, and when 1
tho Government is bankrupt,—new .proposed a
to amend the motion by including the printing [
of twenty thousand additional copies of the 1
report.
Mr. CAMPBELL, of S C., remons'.raled with >j
spirit and force against the injustice of sending t
out a printed argument against Mr Graves and 1
his Iricnds after the House had determined to
abandon the trial.
Mr PARKER, of N Y., one of the trainbands, j
fcatd lire subject had only been laid on the table.
Phis wretched pretence produced no feeling but 1
that of derision at its shallowness. J
Father and his associates know that the sub. j
ject has been consigned to “the tomb of the c
Capulcts,” never to rise again. 1
Mr. HOPKINS, of Va., moved to lay both |
the motion to print and the amendment on the
table ; it was rejected by p. large majority.
Mr MASON, of Ohio, then rose and opposed J
tho amendment, on tho ground that it is partial, |
unfair, and does manifest injustice to the parties .
whom it undertakes to accuse. He examined
this miserable tissue of misrepresentation with J
gieat acumen, and exposed several instances of
its gross and flagrant injustice. The parly were s
exceedingly restive under these attacks; several of ]
them slatted up, one after another, and interrupted f
him with idle and vexatious calls to order. But ,
he went on lashing them with severity, until the £
morning hour expired! when the Speaker went ]
into the business of calling on the different S'.an- (
ding Committees for reports. ’
The Committee of commerce reported the an- ‘
nual Harbor Appropriation Bill. j
Mr. BRONSON from the Committee on Ter. 1
ritorics reported a resolution for setting apart Tues 1
day and Wednesday next, for territorial business. I
Mr. CAMBRELING protested against any I
i special orders, in tho present condition of the pub- 1
! lie business. The resolution was rejected.
The Committee on territories reported hills for '
j the creation of two New Stales—one to enable 1
the people of East Wisconsin: and the other to 1
j enable the people of Florida, to form a consliiu- '
j lion and Slate Government; and providing for the 1
admission of such Stales into the Union. They
were referred to tho Committee "of the whole. I
After sonic mote reports of a miscellaneous 1
character, the House, on motion of Mr, CAM- ‘
BKELING, resolved jitsnlf into Committee of 5
the Whole, Mr INGHAM oTCoon. in the Chair,. 1
and look up the bill authorizing the reissue of C
the Treasury notes in the place 0 f those which J
have been returned and cancelled. S
Mr. CAMBRELINO then rose; and urged
the necessity of the measure, in order to relieve *■
(he Treasury, and indulged in much glorification s
ol the Administration for bringing about the re
sumption of specie payments! --
Mr. CUSHING of Mass, replied in a speech is
of great spirit and demonstrated most clearly that S
the Government had no right to issue these notes, *'
and that the measure was highly inexpedient. ll
Mr THOMPSON, of South Carolina, then y
took the floor, and made a masterly speech in a
opposition to the measure on grounds of expedi. 8
cncy ami the constitution. The Committee rose,
before lie had closed his remarks, and the House
adjourned.
Ir, the .Senate a number of memorials wort
presented by Messrs. Pierce, Morris, Niles, Davis
and Southard, all remonstrating against the exe
cution of the Treaty of New Echota with the
Cherokee Indians. All were laid on the table
and ordered to be printed.
Mr. HIVES, on leave, introduced a Dill for
the re-organization of the United Slates Marine
Corps : which was read, and referred to the
Committee on Naval Affairs.
Mr.MOL fON of E a ., introduced, on leave, a

CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
a. in*
Tuesday Morning, May 15,
OCj" The author of“A Citizen of Ward No. 2”
will please send in his name. This must ho
done to secure publication.
On Sunday last between four tnd five hun
dred United Stales Troops passed through this
place, under the command of Col. Crane, on
their way to the 1 Cherokee country. Part of
them arrived here in a steam boat from Savannah
and part on the Hail Hoad from Charleston.
The steam packet Neptuwm made her last (rip
from Charleston to New York in sixty one hours,
being the shortest passage on record.
The Darien Telegraph of the Bih inst, con
tains an ill-natured editorial article against (J,, v .
Gilmer, which docs that gentleman the grossest
/ujuslicc. X Hut injustice arises from a perversion
0 f K J'me facts, and false statement of others.—
Wc c*b l ‘ ct '* lu following paragraphs from the
article allu. !t which contain tiro pith and
essence of the o'j* ' ir S CB against Gov, G.
“\V e have spoken' littleness of mind;
now for the proof of it.' * 3 usu al for die Dank
Heporls to be printed in i;ei ' u ' n papers. They
should bo published in those o.* the largest cir
culation. Gov Schley,jwhen he office
made no alteration in the list of p.V crs ' v '*'ch
published these reports—the leading Sia'P lights
papers had the privilege of publishing the‘ m ai
well as the Union papers. Gov Schley iP-’o
above party bias, and sent the information re
quired lo the public through the best channels.
What has Gov Gilmer done? He lias restricted
the publication to his own pet pa; cts, barely
admitting the Georgian and Constitutionalist to
copy them,just to keep up a semblance of fair
play. He has deprived the loading Union pa
pers of the profit of publishing those documents
—even the Standard of Union, the Proprietor of
which is the State Printer, has been excluded.
The Editor of that Paper, however, with his
usual imlepcncence, has determined to print
them in defiance of the royal ordonance of
George R. Gilmer, and look for remuneration to
ihe Legislature. That Dody will do justice, we
believe; and Mr. Gilmer will be made to appear
just as small as he should be in the matter.
“Wq arc ourselves amongst the proscribed.
Wediave the satisfaction, however, of knowing
that if Governor Gilmer, can deprive us of a lit
tle money, ho cannot restrict for a moment our
freedom es thought, or of speech; and while we
can use these faculties we shall not desist from
denouncing the poor, pitiful motives that must
have actuated that person in his war on the Un
ion press of the State.”
The Hank Reports arc ordered by law to be
published in such papers as the Governor may
select for that purpose. For this they are paid
by the Slate at advertisement rates. Gov.Lumpkin
in every instance selected the papers of bis own
party, with, wc believe, but a single exception.
Gov. Schley continued the practice. During the
year 1837, Ihe Bank Reports were published by
authority in the following Union papers, viz-
Federal Union, Standard of Union, Macon Tele
graph, Columbus Sentinel, Athens Banner, Mi
nor’s Recorder, Southern Spy, Savannah Geor
gian, and Darien Telegraph ! The only State
Rights paper into which they were ordered by
Gov. Schley was the Southern Recorder ! It
will thus be seen that although Gov. Schley
•‘made no alteration in the list of papers which
published these reporls,” as Ihe Telegraph says,
yet he continued the proscriptive party policy of
his predecessor ! It will be seen by the above
list that they were published in nine Union pa
pers and in but one of the Stale Right’s party !
Governor Gilmer has ordered them into the fol
lowing papers, viz; Southern Recorder, Georgia
Journal; Federal Union , Macon Messenger, Co
lumbus Enquirer, Athens Whig, Chronicle &
Sentinel, Const lutionatisl, Savannah Republi
can ami Savannah Georgian ; making tea pa -
pers in all, of which three ate of the Union parly.
We agree with the Telegraph that these Re
ports should be published in those papers having
the most extensive circulation. Look at the list
of those in which they were published liy Gov
Schley, and the reader will discover that some of
them arc the very smallest in circulation in the
State. The Darien Telegraph, Athens Banner,
Miner’s Recorder and Southern Spy all put to
gether do not circulate as many papers by near-,
ly one thousand as the Chronicle & Sentinel.
One ol them, the Miner’s Recorder was actually
sustained by the money received, and perished for
want of support so soon as the Treasury pap was
taken from it by the defeat of Gov. Schley. It
is true as the Telegraph says, that tbe leading
Stale Right’s papers had the “ privilege ” of pub
lishing these lepons; but it was u privilege for
the exercise of which they got no pay from the
Stale, while such establishments as the Telegraph
md Miner’s Recorder derived from it a profit,
;rcatcr than from their whole advertising patron
’ We will thank the Editor oi the
.0 1 clcgraph to Bay l.ow much he received from t! 10
SMate for this service last year. As our paper has
ea circulation six or seven times as large as the
3, J olograph, and is therefore capable of doing six
limes us much good by the publication of these
c reports, wo should like to know how to make out
e our bill against the Slate.
I.i every instance where Gov. Gilmer has made
-r a discrimination he has selected the paper having
c >hc largest circulation. As to the determination
0 of the Standard of Union to demand pay of ih„
Legislature, we can only laugh at the stupidity
a which lends the “Book maker” to suppose that
he is entitled as a mailer of right to make the
1 Slate pay lor whatever he chooses to print.
e have placed this matter in its true light,
‘ and do not hesitate in believing that the people’
' ol lhe S,ate w ‘i | determine correctly, which Gov
, ernor has exhibited the greatest degree of liberal
1 ity m the distribution of this branch of his patro
i nage.

, Jlle Gharlesten Mercury of yesterday says.
“M o learn from a passenger in the U. S. Steamer
Poinsett, arrived hero yesterday, from Black
Creek, that about 350 Indians had gone in to Gen
Taylor’s camp, with Alligator and Coacooche at'
their head. Five companies of the 4th Regiment
1 U. S. Artillery, arrived at Savannah on Saturday
last, and proceeded immediately on their way to
the Cherokee Coumry. Two Companies left tho
day before, and two more would leave in a few
days’”
Wo learn Irom the Pensacola~Gazctte that
Capt. Mervinc has been “relieved” from hi, com

The Yoik, Pa. papers mention that a new

The following reply to the query of “E” in our
paper some days ago'was put in typo without
examination, and wo have concluded to let it
pass with the remark that in our humble judgment
the answer is a very unsatisfactory one indeed.

nal pronoun “he,” a noun!
COMMUNICATED.
Answer to the Cominication of “12.”
“E.” I suppose, is one of the “disciples” of Mr
Kirkham from his address. “E.” is not aware
that lie is studying MrMurray at last, he there
fore must make no game of that gentleman, for
without Murray’s Grammer, I can give him a
sentence that he cannot analyze to save his life,
but this has nothing to do with tho question.—
1 should say that “what has become of him, i»
the correct way of rendering the sentence: tho
sentence “what is become of him,” tha verb
would be passive, whereas it ought to be active-
the question—what havo become of him I
Ho . l ‘ ss S one t 0 Now York. Tho reason lb*
verb be active, is, because “A verb Active
expressed an act *on of course. In the sentence
“what is bv' C(,mc °f him,” tho verb would be pas
sive, and u lerli passive expresses a passion or a
suffering, or tho receiving of an action, &c. It is
plain that bis going’ New Y'ork expresses nei.
thcr action, passion, nor suffering, then the sen
tence rendered correctly should read thus : what
hus become &c. Now I will analyze the word
“what.” “What lias become of him! Ho has
gone, Ac What is a relative pronoun, of th c
Interrogative kind and relates to its subsequent
noun “be” which is the answer to the question
according to a note in Etymology, which says .
“The lelative pronoun when used, Interrogative
ly relates to a word or phrase which is not ante
cedenl but subsequent to thc relative.” I can
apply another nolo : thc Ist note under rule the f
6th, which says: “When the relative pronoun
is of thc interrogative kind, thc noun or pronoun
containing the answer must bo in thc same case
as that which contains the question.”

[foii the chronicle and sentinel.]
Mr. Eiiitou —Sir, As there appear to be
strange infatuations with some people, I think it
would not be amiss to lake some little notice of
a singular occuncnce in this county, and in a
family that is respectable and somewhat pleas
antly situated.
In thc family there is a small girl about ten
years of age, and having been for soma little time
confined to the house with the whoopingcough.she
look an idoa to ride out on horse back with one
of her brothers. She did so, and on returning
and being taken fiora tho horse she was
alcly thrown into spasms and called for her horsc (
he was brought and so soon as she was placed u[»
on him the resumed her usual cheerfulness and
all appealed to be well. She has been taken off
since that, again and again, and so soon as it is
dune sho is taken with ibese fits or thrown into
spasms. From this the family has taken some
strange ideas, and to prevent her from having the
fits they have had (ho horse carried into their
dwelling, and she remains on him day and nighi.
Once or twice while asleep they havo taken her
off—this circumstance commenced about six days
ago and Irom appearances it will continue f< t
some time.
I feel a delicacy in mating any lar.bcrreraaik',
and will leave it with you and yum readers.
